Hand-held Force Gauge Calibration Adapter Value Kit These L-Shaped adapters are designed to properly mount and calibrate hand-held force gauges in a Morehouse Portable Calibrating Machine. The adapters ensure that the load line passes accurately through the loading axis of the force gauge. Accuracy in the manufacturing of these adapters, combined with the exceptional stability […]
Analyzing the Effects of Reducing the Ending Zero vs Ignoring the Trailing Zero on Measurement Instruments Used for Force Calibration (2014): ASTM E74 Method A and Method B—for the treatment of reducing the ending zero. Method A defines the deflection calculation as the difference between the deflection at an applied force and the initial reading […]
How Do I Calculate B Coefficients Using Data from My Force Calibration Report? At Morehouse, we generate calibration reports with both A and B coefficients. Any calibration performed following the ASTM E74 or ISO 376 standard will list both sets of coefficients. The A coefficients are used to solve for Response when the Force is […]
Prestressed Concrete Calibration Kit Available in 50k or 75k capacities, the kit is optimized for calibrations in prestressed concrete applications. Optional special top adapters help with better alignment and protection from concentrated forces. The load cell is a hollow compression canister type with a chrome cover jacket. It is designed with 0.75” through hole, which […]
Load cell dual-range calibration errors happen when a load cell is not loaded to full capacity. The molecules inside the load cell do not react potentially causing an increased error. What you need to know about molecule excitement decline and dual-range calibrations. Article from Test Magazine May 2016 issue. If you enjoyed this content, check […]
How to Gain Confidence in Your Measurements In the book Good to Great a concept is illustrated with three intersecting circles, which determine your company’s hedgehog concept. The hedgehog concept is based on asking three questions. “ 1. What are you deeply passionate about? 2. What can you be the best in the world at? […]
Concrete Compression Machine Calibration Kit The Concrete Compression Machine Calibration Kit is optimized for the calibration of concrete compression testing machines and other testing equipment in the field up to 600,000 lbf. The 600k lbf load cell included in the kit was specifically designed for field applications and, at 28 lbs, weighs considerably less than […]
Force Calibration Guidance for Beginners: If you are new to force calibration or metrology, the information can be overwhelming. This Force Calibration Guidance simplifies everything you need to know. Since force calibration is mechanical in nature, there are many factors to consider. Force Calibration Guidance for Beginners provides a basic understanding of force calibration, the […]
What is the Best Load Cell for a Reference Standard? What is the best load cell I can use as a reference standard? This question appears straightforward, but once we start to examine the issue, it takes a series of questions to answer. The most common answer is, "Well… that depends on what your expectations […]
